What's this ticking noise under my glove box....
I decided not to tinker with fixing the servo that people have said is causing my CC to default into full defrost and now it sounds like I have a bomb ticking in my glove box. This ticking is not dependent on whether the CC is on/off or setting of it. Is this the servo or something new to figure out?

Quattrotrac.......I like your diagnosis............
I had this happen to my climate control programmer located behind the glove box. The unit mounts on the firewall.
Something breaks loose with an arm or gear in the programmer electric motor to create the "ticking" noise. I think replacing your programmer, and your problem will be solved.

I had an old '87 5kq that did this...
The whole time it was the headlight relay clicking. I didn't think it was located back there....I know about the CC programmer too which was what I was looking for anyways since the CC on these cars usually don't work anyways..lol...but then the headlight relay was all scorned underneath...it was weird.

Any problems with lights to diagnose this?
My driver's side headlight has a problem but it is more likely due to the harness holding the assempbly. It runs low beams so I haven't felt this is a pressing issue. Knowing everything else that is going on I think it is my programmer. Damn these things are expensive....

Change out the programmer first...
The symptoms I got from the headlight issue was that high beams would stay on at all times...and everything would go off when the low beams were activated. We changed the switch, but it did nothing and turned out to be this relay.
What you're describing seems unrelated to a relay issue. Go with the A/C programmer and repost if it doesn't fix the problem.

Hey Laterskater, suggest you contact Tom Serranno........
he posts here quite a bit. He once emailed me that he had repaired a "ticking" programmer some time ago. Ask him how he fixed it. If you can repair it, you will save some bucks.
